SCCS, purely because it'll be installed by default (hopefully).
If your HP/UX box comes with a compiler, you could compile up RCS
instead. Note that both of them are file based. There isn't, AFAIK,
a free changeset based version control system. Those all cost various
quantities of money, and for the most part, don't come with source.
If you're interested in that sort of thing, though, then look at
BitKeeper, TrueChange, Perforce or ClearCase.
